Descendants of Thomas Holllis Union Co. SC
Have any straight line male descendants of Thomas Hollis (i.e. those who descend through sons at each generation and are named Hollis) considered joining the Hollis DNA project (link below)?I note that this project does not yet have many participants but as it grows this might be a way to add further proof that Thomas was the son of James Hollis (British soldier who deserted and joined Patriot cause). I think that most of us who descend from Thomas are familiar with James's pension application that relates James's place of birth in Wandsworth, Surry, England.If enough SC HOllises and English Hollises were tested, we might hit information that would prove or disprove the realtionship.It would also be interesting to see if there is kinship with the Fairfield Co. SC Hollises who came to SC from Fairfax Co. VA.I think that they too were from Surry.
